About this listen
In this episode, photographer Clinton Wright talks about what it was like to move to and photograph Las Vegas in the 1960s and 70s, a time when many casinos were still segregated. Aaron Mayes and Claytee White, who work with Wright’s archive at the UNLV Libraries Special Collection help situate these photographs within the historical context of Civil Rights activism in Las Vegas.
